Exactly what I was looking for as a supplement to the Vogel guide. Sort of a Jtree select for moderate trad climbers. Extremely detailed, filled with color photos, and detailed descent information which really saves a lot of time exploring new routes.
The only nitpick I have is that some of the rappelling information is a bit conservative. The rappel from Doublecross is easily made on my 60m rope, and from Mental Physics a 60m rope means a small bit of easy downclimbing.
